So my daughter says to me "daddy can you build me one of those 2p machines like we play at the arcades?"
No problem I say.
3 weekends later and a lot of google searching and measuring I have a working model.
Needs finishing off but the main working are done.
Both Megan and her friend managed to put their phones down for a couple of hours and play!
Happy days

Brilliant, well done I'm sure the kids love it.
Excellent - very good effort!
IMHO something that gets kids away from phones (screens) is worth the time and effort.
Don't get sucked in to providing buckets of 2p coins for them to play with though
ETA...our 3 kids (11 =9 + 9) each have an Amazon Kindle. They have a limit of 30 mins at a time then it's turn off and do something else - even
dare to play a game with your Dad! I've taught them chess and backgammon so far - the oldest can now beat me at chess and is not far off with
backgammon either!

Spent a bit more time on the coin pusher over the past week and got the vinyl wrap on, edging strips and lights.
Just about finished now. Need to fit some handles as the thing is heavy!!! 20+ KG
